$$

The $$ command is a short and handy way in order to fetch multiple elements on the page. It returns a ChainablePromiseArray containing a set of WebdriverIO elements.

Using the wdio testrunner this command is a global variable, see Globals for more information. Using WebdriverIO within a standalone script it will be located on the browser object instead (e.g. browser.$$).

You can chain $ or $$ together without wrapping individual commands into await in order to walk down the DOM tree, e.g.:

const imageSrc = await $$('div')[1].nextElement().$$('img')[2].getAttribute('src)

It is also possible to use async iterators to loop over the result of the query, e.g.:

// print all image sources
for await (const img of $$('img')) {
console.log(await img.getAttribute('src))
}
